We propose to organize a Superhuman Sports Games1 in Laval Virtual. Superhuman Sports is a new form of sports based on the human-machine integration technology that provides new experiences by augmenting our body. Through superhuman sports experiences, people can realize what when our body and machine integrate naturally, human can overcome individual physical differences, and simultaneously, people can believe human can exceed our physical limitations. For this event, we prepared 3 games to provide physical augmentation experiences. Bubble Jumper augments our jumping function and shock absorption function without using any motors, Sli-de-rift adds new foot function with assist motor and Omni wheels, and Carry Otto augments running with in wheel motor.

This research clarifies on-site measurement and outstanding issues of corporate sports from a human resources management perspective through extracting concepts from a case study of employment of top athletes by Athnavi, an employment support program managed by the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) , as a new model of corporate sports. Semi-structured interviews were used to make coding on a word-for-word record, and qualitative analysis was conducted. As a result of coding, the major classification was divided into: (1) meaning of top athlete employment, (2) measures of human resources management and (3) problems of (2) . Secondary and tertiary classifications were divided into seven and ten items, respectively.Then, a summary table of the interview results was drawn up. Examination of the table revealed that there were similarities and differences between companies with and without experience in corporate sports, while each company's measurement of human resources management was diversified. There were no significant differences in terms of measures and problems of human resources management between companies with and without experience in corporate sports, except for one company that incorporated an Athnavi athlete into the framework of existing corporate sports management. However, a difference could emerge between these companies in the future, because the former have knowledge and know-how of human resources management for top athletes accumulated through experience, as well as former corporate sports athletes within the company organizations who can serve as role models. Moreover, two issues which likely will be solved in the future were indicated, namely;(1) operation of new human resources management for companies that do not have an existing framework for human resources management for top athletes, and (2) education of top athletes taking into 人事労務管理から見た新しい企業スポーツのモデル 190 account their long-term careers.
The purpose of this research was to develop a swimmer-specific mental toughness inventory. In the pilot survey, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 Japanese individual sports Olympic medalists (4 males, 3 females) in order to identify the characteristics of elite swimmers' mental toughness using a qualitative analysis method, the KJ method, considering higher-and lower-order structures. In the main research, a questionnaire regarding mental toughness was conducted on 254 swimmers (151 males, 103 females) who met the finishing time set by the Japan Swimming Federation with the purpose of enhancing swimmers' competitiveness (assumed as elite swimmers in this study) . The development of a swimmer-specific mental toughness inventory was attempted using a questionnaire developed by extracting swimmers' mental toughness characteristics revealed in the pilot survey. After excluding defective answers, 194 (117 males, 77 females) samples were included in analysis. Exploratory factor analysis indicated that the inventory consisted of five factors and three items. After scrutiny of what constituted the extracted five factors, they were named the following: "Fortitude," "Commitment to the Sport," "Psychological Conditioning," "Self-control," and "Resilience." Exploratory factor analysis was once again conducted through the maximum-likelihood method and Promax rotation and it confirmed internal validity. Conversion validity and divergent validity were examined, both of which adequately fulfilled the Goodness of Fit Index and standard path coefficient. Finally, adequate criterion-related validity was verified using correlation analysis with DIPCA.3. The factors of mental toughness in elite swimmers were similar to those in other sports. Japanese elite swimmers' mental toughness characteristics were identified and a swimmer-specific mental toughness inventory was developed. This scale will be useful for helping coaches to understand Japanese elite swimmers' mental toughness.
